That keeps leading to centrist coddling and validating the most absurd bullshit. It’s impossible to meet them where they’re at when they don’t live in the same reality as, ya know, reality.
I mean, for fuck’s sake, 90% of what they want could actually be socialist policy but they so desperately want to make sure the shitty aspects are still there that they won’t stop supporting obvious criminals. Like, they want cheaper groceries, better wages, and a bunch of other stuff that they agree with right up until you point out that what they actually want is socialism if they’d just drop the racism and hatred parts.
And what the fuck are we supposed to do to reach someone who thinks Doug Ford is an upstanding guy? How do we reach the centrists who blindly follow a relativistic way of looking at politics where they’d vote for pretty much anything so long as it wasn’t the most extreme option in any direction? Harris fucked around with Republicans instead of doing a good job and look at the US. Mamdani is going full no-compromising with assholes and it’s going amazingly. Carney only won because the Liberals still haven’t given us electoral reform and our population is full of short-sighted “strategic” voters who couldn’t strategize their way out of a paper bag and who think that they’re enlightened because they voted for a relative middle distance.
No, fuck Conservatives. The only thing that should be meeting them where they’re at is a bulldozer. If they want to be part of reality they can move their own asses over here. I’m sick of coddling their stupid, hateful, baseless feelings.
Yea things like climate change are one of this biggest crises facing our planet. We don’t need politicians watering down solutions and catering to a group of people who don’t even believe in climate change because their personality is tied to their f250.
Conservative leaning people are inevitable and you are not going to be able to get rid of them.
The left needs to do a better job reaching them where they’re at, anything else is tilting at windmills.
